Well, everyone under the age of 30, it seems.
Survey kids at any high school in America--ask them what they'd like to be in life, and I'm sure a great majority will say "famous"
Fame that's been EARNED due to talent, whether it be musical, theatrical, political, etc., is fine, perhaps even commendable. However, in today's superficial society, fame for its own sake--not for any reason at all--is the desired outcome for many youngsters. Paris Hilton is a prime example of being famous for no ******* reason--she's no actress, yet she's on tv shows... she cannot sing, yet she has made millions as a 'singer'... she is ugly, yet she is held by millions as an icon of beauty and fashion.
How did this come to be? Is it the fault of reality tv, where people who don't actually do anything become celebrities simply for being seen on the television? Or are kids and young adults these days simply THAT superficial and devoid of talent and personality?
I truly despise this pathetic generation.
